A Poem by Jay
Atop the red hills of Mars
an old man weeps all alone,
The only thread that binds us all:
the meaning that we’ve sown.
Dirt cries for water, while a beggar aimless in the dark
Never had seen the light, under a barren sky, not so far
A storm rolls in, silent, but brings the life it's sweet, sweet high,
A star’s born from dust, only from sacrifice it’ll finally rise.
Yellow’s not from fear, it’s desperation to stay alive
From Terra the Star Sailor wonders, “What is the meaning of life?”
By the spirit of a man,
or woman, or dust, or sand,
By Mars and Venus crying, reaching you out for a hand.
The star sailor’s got a point, isn’t that what you see?
On Terra, only love and lust can keep our minds free.
“look at how things have changed”
“back up to change our ways”
Maybe it’s better to stay as soil, spend my days in rain.
Some men flee to the moon,
Jupiter’s the new trend
Some others hear Mars’ cries, seeking to make amends.
Create, you must destroy, a fundamental law
Whatever hopes are risen is always destined to fall
Why do you chase the sunset, why do you chase so far?
What is there to pursue, is there an end at all?
Some men don’t ask questions
Outcasts from the system
What is it to them all
Why did you have to happen
You may have broken my heart
No crows to circle, fly low
Cause knowing since from the start
is why lost men live on Pluto
Humanity is bound together by the very purpose and meaning we choose to cultivate
Because the life fundementally seeks for scarce resources...
Faced with the harsh realities of survival and the necessity of sacrifice to sustain existence, the Star Sailor searches for true meaning beyond sustenance
Despite our diverse origins or states of existence, all are united in their vulnerability and desire for connection and support.
Yet, in our desperate search for meaning, we merely fall into the trap of modern hedonism
Despite all this grand ambition and technological advancement, we end up destroying things in the process and failing to find lasting satisfaction
Destruction is only part of the cycle, and breaking down old hopes is a necessary step to allow new, authentic meaning to develop
These lines reflect the struggles of everyday people who feel like outcasts from the system, navigating a difficult world where they feel lost and hurt by their circumstances
